Onto the Take Up Reel

When loading media onto the Take Up Reel:

Check the leading edge as it unwinds from the

spool. If it is not evenly cut or if it is skewed, trim the

media as shown in the animation.

Check the media is straight when it is attached to the

take up reel, otherwise the media will skew as it is

wound onto the core.

The core tube on the take-up reel must be the same

width as the media you are using.

Make sure the take-up core is pushed firmly into

both media guides.

If you need to feed more media from the printer and

the “Move Media” screen is no longer displayed, go

to the media menu and press Enter. Then select

“Move Media”.

If you are using a three-inch cardboard core, make

sure the core adaptors supplied with the printer,

have been installed. See below.

The Take Up Reel as an Accessory

For the HP Designjet 60inch/1.57m printer the Take UP

Reel is supplied as standard. For the HP Designjet

42inch/1.07m printer it is an optional accessory which

you can order, see Ordering Accessories
